Anderson Silva most tested USADA fighter of the year

Anderson Silva’s failed UFC 183 drug test for anabolic steroids has put the United States Anti-Doping Agency on red alert.

According to the official USADA database, Silva is the most drug tested fighter of 2016 and has been tested a total of 15 times this year.

Amy Kaplan of Champions.co compiled a chart of the most tested fighters on the UFC roster.

Silva, 41, was suspended for one year and his decision win over Nick Diaz was overturned to a No Contest.

‘The Spider’ returned to the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 84 and lost a unanimous decision to Michael Bisping at The O2 Arena in London, England.
